"I am a creature of habit, and to me, the birthplace of aviation, is a place worth visiting more than once. In fact, I would say it is more than a photo op, a gift shop visit or buzzing the Wright Brothers Monument in your plane. It is a spiritual place to me, as powerful as Diamond Head or Machu Picchu in that regard. It is a sandy piece of land, where one can stand at the exact spot where man left the planet for the first time, and reflect in these troubled times, on what it means to soar above the earth and go traveling amongst the stars. Those kinds of thoughts are the things that separate pilots from passengers."

In fall 2008, James William Buffett jumped into his Cessna Caravan for his annual pilgrimage from New York to Florida - a familiar "change in latitude". He touched down at First Flight Airport in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, to pay homage to those two pioneering brothers who gave us the gift of flight.

Jimmy found the Outer Banks to be a special kind of place. He first visited back in the 80s, though his grandfather Capt. James Buffett had firsthand experience with Cape Hatteras via the S.S. Chiquimula (a four-masted schooner rescued east of Hatteras in 1925).

On his blog, Mr. Buffett wrote of flying the shoreline down to Cape Hatteras and back, of deflating the tires on his big "Green Tomato" van to drive on the beach, and of dreaming about big waves. He wrote of ferries, of ponies, of the things which residents of the Outer Banks sometimes take for granted until seeing them again through a visitor's eyes. Buffett wrote about staying on Ocracoke and reading himself to sleep while "the light from the lighthouse swept by my window in a constant pattern like some guardian angel standing watch."

Inspired? We sure are. We invite you to visit Wright Brothers National Memorial, Fort Raleigh National Historic Site and Cape Hatteras National Seashore to make some memories. Visit the parks, view the wildlife, and (of course) check out the beaches. A wise man once said, "โ€œIf thereโ€™s a heaven for me, Iโ€™m sure it has a beach attached.โ€

Fair winds and following seas, Jimmy.

Guess whoโ€™s back, back again? Yes, itโ€™s us, tell a friend! ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ (No seriously, share this post to help spread awareness about the dangers of digging large holes on the beach.)

Today alone, our ocean rescue supervisor responded to THREE large holes dug/left on our beach. (Yes, you read that right, three in one day - and it's only March!) ๐Ÿคฆ

We cannot stress this enough, ๐——๐—œ๐—š๐—š๐—œ๐—ก๐—š ๐—Ÿ๐—”๐—ฅ๐—š๐—˜ ๐—›๐—ข๐—Ÿ๐—˜๐—ฆ ๐—ข๐—ก ๐—ง๐—›๐—˜ ๐—•๐—˜๐—”๐—–๐—› ๐—œ๐—ฆ ๐—˜๐—ซ๐—ง๐—ฅ๐—˜๐— ๐—˜๐—Ÿ๐—ฌ ๐——๐—”๐—ก๐—š๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—ข๐—จ๐—ฆโ—๏ธ Sand collapses occur in holes just a few feet deep. NEVER dig a hole deeper than it is wide. Children and adults should not dig holes deeper than their knees when standing in them.

Why are they dangerous?
๐Ÿฆˆ Did you know that national statistics comparing sand hole collapses to shark attacks confirms that ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—น๐˜† ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—น๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ธ ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธ No one goes to the beach expecting to leave with a broken ankle or worse. Sand holes can cause numerous injuries to other beach-goers.

๐Ÿš‘ Sand holes make it challenging for first responders to quickly get to an emergency on the beach, and they can cause damage to the responder's vehicles and create a secondary emergency.

๐Ÿข Who doesnโ€™t love cute little sea turtles?! Sand holes can trap hatchlings and their mother, which can result in a fatal ending.

We recommend leaving any digging to the little ghost crabs ๐Ÿฆ€ However, if you do dig a hole on the beach, ONLY dig shallow holes and ALWAYS fill it in once you're finished. Help keep everyone on our beaches safe, including yourself.

Thanks for making it through this lengthy post. ๐Ÿ˜… Don't forget to share!
